One o! tbi highights o! the event was tht address given by Dm. G. I Christie, President, O. A. C. Guelph, at the banquet held ar ~Thursday night. Introduced b3 Mr. Leonard Fair, Dr. CbristiE paid tribute ta the remarkabhî wark being done by Canadiai farmers who are working wit] the greatest shortages a! labo: and with the lowest grade equip- ment in fifty years. He expressed the belle! thal people are listening, thinking anc acting an the information that better seed does pay in the great- er wam demand. Stressing the importance o! hybrid corn as'a quality grain be revealed thai many fammers ae'planning ta in- crease acreage o! corn this year. Speaking o! postwar recon- struction and the return a! ser- vicemen ta civilian life, Dm. Christie deciamed that when the white flag is raised we need not expect to find the worid recan- structed. Aftem tearing up enemy territory with ll-ton bombs, at least tbree years will be required ta clear away the debris a! uined cities. After that will came the rebuilding. For aur country as weil as for ather democratic countries, the end o! the war will not mean an end o! shaing. Cammenting an the return o! Canadian boys from the war theatre, the speaker declared that these boys will not be put in the same old ocking chair; tbey will not be satis!ied ta came back ta life as it was before the wam. Their ideas have cbanged, and they expect those at home ta have pmagressed witb the times. Many wbo have given leadership thmough the war years will be ai- most through and more than wiliing ta see the younger genera- tion carry on a work that will be gi1eatem tban anything that we have expeienced during war- time. "This warries me," Dr. Christie continued, "there are a lot o! peo- pie canfusing young lives rather than giving tbem a true course. The homes and farms a! Canada bave been buiit througb bard, conscientiaus womk - ne ve r tbrough joy rides, staying out and sleeping ate. We shahl neyer build Canada withaut harder work. Remember this when you read prapaganda a! some utopian existence aftem the war - good things corne when we work in a clear cut way for the good o! al." "'The tragedy o! war," he quot- ed, "is that boys who !ought and died may neyer came for peace again.'" Dr. Christie paid tribute ta the outstanding womk o! Mm. E. A. Summers, as a great teacher and as one a! the finest cantributors ta the progmess o! youth train- ing in the province. Durham County teams, be deciamed, had won mare top awards than any other county in Ontario, an evi- dence o! splendid coaching and intemest o! Mm. Summers. The judges introduced by Mm.

The Company is contributing the sum of $900 ta the local fund witb the employees' portion set at $1300. Canvassers have been ap- pointed among staff and factory departments and the drive is now in full swing with contributions accepted by way of cash or de- ductions from payroll. In the past, as Supt. Cattran points out, local Goodyear em- ployees have always been very generous in their respanse ta ail patriotic appeals and it is con- fidently predicted that the Red Cross quota will be achieved in fuil. On the basis o! population ac- carding ta approximate figures, Goodyear employees represent about ane-tenth of thosg called upan for the $9000 total. But an the basis of cash quota $2200 the contribution o! company and em- playees is not far short of 25 per1 cent of the entire amount. Pte. A. Ray Richards Killed ln Action Mr. and Mrs. William J.
